I look forward to the day when I can write a guide on how to go directly from USD to STEEM :)

I 2nd that! I'm wondering why it hasn't been done already? Someone could make a fortune if they knew how to replicate that Internal Market and make it so that buyers and sellers can trade directly with each other and the middleman acts like PayPal and takes care of all the transactions while collecting a processing fee! And not just USD, but Canadian and Euro as well.

There are several million dollars of regulation fees to pay if anyone wants to do it in the US. That's why there are very few sites besides Coinbase that offer that type of thing.

Its all about controlling the market, isn't it? But since the blockchain is everywhere at the same time, can it not avoid US controls? I guess its the fact that we need to access our local banks to move the fiat currency that is the sticking point! Darn!

Hi, do you have an updated version now, since you wrote this a couple years ago, has there been a major changed? Just wondering.

The guide should still be fairly up to date. If you have any questions let me know and I'm happy to help.

Alright. Thanks. Will keep it in mind. :)
